We are rapidly approaching the point in time Chyron guy just gives up and writes orange man bad in there and calls it a day because he can't come up with a good way to insult trump.
And in something that leaves me wishing I was still poking fun at CNN's Chyron guy going mad we instead have CNN printing literal CCP propaganda as an article before promptly quietly editing it when people called them out on it:

I'm not sure what's more impressive, how much they plagiarized from the press release with minimal changes or how little thought they put into whether or not they should be printing said article.

CNN like a lot of news operations utterally gutted their international branches to save on money, and while they did save money it leaves them completely and utterly blind when it comes to international events. On top of that the last 4 years have shredded CNNs credibility.
You know I'm starting to feel like I pick on CNN too much but they seriously keep bungling at a rather alarming rate. In the latest example we have CNN running the story that Elon Musk never sent the ventilators he promised and trying to call him out on twitter. Except there's only one problem. He did deliver said ventilators. Oops. What followed was best described as a massacre as Musk both insulted CNN and provided evidence.

The initial Tweet Chain with the memorable response:
Though the funniest part about the affair was CNN trying to throw the governor under the bus in an attempt to cover up for their lack of any research like say going on twitter and searching...
And so I'm not only mocking CNN, here's a pair of tweets from the Associated Press from the Obama era and the Trump era. Can you spot the difference?

The majority of international news reports, in almost every news company(whether TV or newspaper) are copy-pasted reports from one of four news agencies: AP, Reuters, France-Presse and Xinhua.

And those that aren't are just something some "journalist" saw posted on Twitter, or Reddit, and didn't bother to fact-check.
Bloomberg actually has a decent amount of international news reporting.
Al Jazeera is also pretty good for anything that doesn't touch on an issue Qatar (its owner) cares about.
I was once told Al Jazeera is not unbiased when it comes to anything, and everything they push out pushes the Qatar agenda, and that pushes all these others Agendas.

Pretty sure that living self-parody and boomer who thinks he can shitpost online like a Zoomer Rick Wilson is also in Qatar's pocket.

The neolib mask is off at the Washington post, as they desperately attempt to promote Joe Biden and act like he, and not his handlers, will be the ones making national security decisions.
You think that sentence is bad, take a look at the whole thing:
You think that sentence is bad, take a look at the whole thing:
Sounds pretty bad, right? Shilling for the War in Afghanistan, shilling for the patriot act (aggressive prevention), implying with mention of "chemical or biological weapons" that the risk of WMDs was great enough to justify invading Iraq, praising Obama's use of drone strikes, mentioning the economic damage of 9/11 and not that the ensuing war cost twice as much, and saying that on the whole the effort was a success. Doubtlessly the woke resistors will reject such illogical praising of the things their parents told them were bad and should be opposed 15 years ago, especially when they're written by one of Dubya's speech writers. Can you imagine them choosing one of the men who voted for the Iraq war?

Teachers Urge Government To Reopen Schools Before Students Learn To Think For Themselves
U.S.—Teachers at government schools have raised their concerns that the recent closure of their institutions will have a damaging effect on students. In particular, the nation's educators are worried that the longer the schools are closed, the more likely it is that students will begin thinking...

I honestly think it’s Online Education instead of simply being taught by parents’ that should be the REAL alternative to schooling, albeit the parents probably make use of the internet in the place of expensive books
Notice guys that the comments are pretty negative
Gotta make it required that they all are taught to be the same and are indoctrinated in whatever they feel like, because obviously the majority of homeschoolers are religious conservatives and possible child abusers

I think they proposed making it so that the government has to pay for them or bail them out from now on
Someone sounds salty they can't scam suckers by standing and stretching. The price of being a soy-addicted man-child.
